Integrating Cyber Forensic Analysis into Real Estate Investment: Enhancing Security and Boosting Investor Confidence
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Cyber Security
Abstract
The increasing cybersecurity threats to the real estate (RE) industry have to be combated using different means and strategies. This study proposes significant integration of CFA into RE as a means of enhancing security and boosting investor confidence. It relies on secondary data, drawn largely from the internet and subjected to systematic review, and employing thematic and content analyses alongside their plausible tools. Qualitative method and analytic descriptive design are employed. The analysis demonstrates that integrating CFA into RE can undoubtedly enhance security and boost investor confidence in the RE industry. The study concludes that CFA plays a significant role in enhancing security and boosting investor confidence, which lead to market stability, profit maximization, optimization, efficient service delivery and clientele safety and satisfaction. The study recommends CFA alongside other technological and conventional techniques to RE firms for quelling cybersecurity threats.
